The Freestanding Koi - Patreon Exclusive (Patreon)

I’ve been itching to make this one ever since the koi wall hanger went up on MakerWorld. Seeing it finally come to life as a full 3D, dual-sided plate build… worth every minute. The sheer volume on this thing is ridiculous, and the color stacking came out exactly the way I hoped.

Each side clocks in at roughly 16 hours, scaled for a 250mm build plate, and it runs beautifully in 4 colors. I tried humoring myself by slicing it upright just to see if something like the H2C could even pretend to handle it—and yeah, no. days still... Totally unhinged. The two-plate approach is the only sane path here.

I’m glad I followed the instinct on this one. It hits hard.
